Welcome to December, a month all about Reflection!

Reflection will help you learn. It will help you heal. It will help you grow. It will help you better help others. It is the only way to become who you are meant to be.

REFLECTION

What a year it has been! It’s a fitting time to bring our full attention to the theme of reflection. To be honest, reflection is a hard one for us to prioritize or, rather, it is somehow one of the easiest things to push off for later. Reflection is easy to view as non-urgent, though it may be the most important thing we could do at the end of any milestone. When we actually make time to respond to questions that we rarely dedicate time to think about, we often have some sort breakthrough, learning, or realization.

How Leaders Become Self Aware (Harvard Business Review)"Without self-awareness, you cannot understand your strengths and weakness, your 'super powers' versus your 'kryptonite.' It is self-awareness that allows the best business-builders to walk the tightrope of leadership: projecting conviction while simultaneously remaining humble enough to be open to new ideas and opposing opinions."

5 Powerful Reasons To Make Reflection A Daily Habit (zenhabits)"[Reflection] helps you learn from your mistakes. If we don’t reflect on our mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them. And that’s not very smart. However, if we reflect on those mistakes, figure out what went wrong, see how we can prevent them in the future, we can use our mistakes to get better. Mistakes, then, are a valuable learning tool, instead of something to feel embarrassed or upset about. Reflection is an important way to do that."

Leadership Character: The Role Of Reflection (Washington Post)"Reflection is what links our performance to our potential. It is the process of properly unpacking ourselves as leaders for the good of others. We can’t apply an abstract construct such as leading through crisis without experiencing what crisis does to us individually and collectively."
